Chapter 967: Cut the Grass at Its Roots! New Regulations Issued, Lu Yong: I Am Just an Ordinary Person

Chapter 967 Cut the grass at its roots! New regulations issued, Lu Yong: I am just an ordinary person...

"The action and crime film "Shock Wave", produced by Yindu Organization and Yinghuang, directed by Wu Pinru, and starring Nicholas Tse, Liu Qingyun, and Fan Xiaoxuan, closed at 20.688 million yuan on the first day of its release."

"On the first day of the release of "Shock Wave", the reputation of "Shock Wave" was broken, and Nicholas Tse's acting skills once again caused controversy..."

"At 12 o'clock in the morning yesterday, Hollywood imported blockbusters "Mechanic 2: Resurrection" and "Jack Reacher: Never Go Back" and other films officially launched the public screening plan."

As soon as I woke up in the morning, the industry's attention was attracted by the Hong Kong film "Shock Wave".

Before the release of this movie, the film company announced that it would open the Cantonese version key nationwide, and release both Cantonese and Mandarin versions at the same time.

This is the first large-scale Cantonese scheduling plan in the history of mainland Chinese films, which undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people in the industry!

In addition, the cooperation between two Academy Award winners, Nicholas Tse and Liu Qingyun, has caused a lot of buzz in the industry and has been hotly discussed.

However, the first-day box office of 20.68 million and the average word-of-mouth score of only 7.2 points have undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to "Shock Wave".

According to the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, this movie may not be able to achieve the goal of "revitalizing Hong Kong films" shouted by the investors.

And this "Fengyun combination" that was touted by the media and a group of people in the Hong Kong circle at the beginning of its release has undoubtedly become a joke in the current Hong Kong film market.

"Now traditional Hong Kong films are already out of date. After all, compared with the mainland's science fiction, suspense, fantasy and other masterpieces, Hong Kong films are too petty. Unless the story can be innovative, it is a waste of effort..."

Early in the morning, Huo Qigang, who was in charge of the audition of "Wushuang", called Chen Fei and complained a lot about "Shock Wave".

Chen Fei naturally understood this. If he remembered correctly, in a few years, Hong Kong films would have no other advantages except selling sentiment.

You know, in the last life, "Wushuang" was hailed as the "last glory" of Hong Kong films.

Now in this life, "Wushuang" has been designed by Chen Fei and Huo Qigang as a co-production of the mainland + Hong Kong, so it can no longer be regarded as a pure Hong Kong film.

Therefore, the last glory of Hong Kong films has completely disappeared.

No one can predict what the future will be like, but the future of Hong Kong films can be seen at a glance, except for the end, or the end...

"How is the casting of "Wushuang" going now? Is it going smoothly?"

"Yeah, it's okay. Several roles have been confirmed. All auditions can be completed by the end of this month at the latest."

"Okay, if you have any difficulties, just contact me and I will arrange someone to help you deal with it."

"Okay, no problem, you can come and sit down when you are free..."

"Yeah, I'll go if I have time."

When I arrived at the company, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning.

A new day of auditions for "Dying to Survive" has begun. As Chen Fei walked toward the audition room, he flipped through several recent media reports about Alibaba Pictures.

"Alibaba Pictures Group Co., Ltd. announced at 9:30 this morning that it will invest in Amblin Partners of the United States and reach a package of collaborative development plans based on future comprehensive strategic cooperation with it, including film investment, joint production, derivatives and publicity and distribution."

"This is the first time that Amblin Partners has introduced Chinese capital since its establishment, and it is also the first time that Alibaba Pictures has reached cooperation with a first-class Hollywood entertainment group in the form of capital plus business integration since its establishment!"

"Due to the cooperation between Alibaba Pictures and Amblin Partners, Alibaba Pictures' Hong Kong stocks opened, and the stock price instantly turned red, with a market value of more than HK$80 billion, almost twice the current market value of Huayi Brothers!"

"This morning, Zhao Yanzi and his wife reduced their holdings of Alibaba Pictures' stocks by as much as 799.3 million shares, cashing out about HK$1.2557 billion, which attracted attention in the industry."

"According to people familiar with the matter, Zhao Yanzi is suspected to have reached a loan agreement with the bank, and may have a new investment direction..."

With the cooperation with Amblin Partners, the stock price of Alibaba Pictures has increased significantly, and ... As soon as the news of the cooperation with tners came out, Alibaba Pictures was in the limelight in the film and television industry, comparable to Wanda Pictures, which had previously reached an acquisition agreement with Legendary Pictures.

However, Zhao Yanzi and her husband took the opportunity to reduce their holdings and cash out, which caused a lot of controversy.

Although the female version of Buffett has now been "banned" by the film and television industry, she still makes a lot of money with the help of Alibaba Pictures, which really makes many people envious.

However, at this moment, Chen Fei suddenly froze in place.

"Zhao Yanzi cashed out 1.2557 billion Hong Kong dollars... reached a loan agreement with the bank... Damn! Is she going to do that?!"

At this moment, a large number of memories suddenly popped up in Chen Fei's mind.

If he remembered correctly, Zhao Yanzi cut the "leeks" one after another this time, and almost pulled out the roots of the stockholders!

Although she suffered retribution later, she had already earned enough money to last the rest of her life through this wave of profiteering!

"Hey, a female version of Buffett? I want to see whether you, the female Buffett, are more powerful, or the China Securities Regulatory Commission is more powerful..."

Chen Fei murmured, and there was already an idea in his words.

This time, he not only wants to drive this Singaporean out of the entertainment industry, but also makes her completely fall down and never be able to stand up again!

After all, as the saying goes, you have to remove the roots!

…

At this time, Alibaba Pictures.

After running around to no avail, Zhao Buffett Yanzi knew that she had no chance to be associated with the film and television industry in this life.

If it were just because of "No Other Love", then although she couldn't be a director, she would still be fine as an actor.

But after she was "repatriated" by the Venice International Film Festival, she no longer even had the option to be an actress.

It is no exaggeration to say that she cannot even participate in any public events now.

Because many capital, audiences, and fans in the film and television industry feel that her deeds of being expelled from the jury of the Venice International Film Festival have had a huge negative impact on China.

Under the influence of this incident, apart from the fact that Wanwan was relatively welcoming to her, the country and Xiangjiang had completely blacklisted her.

She had thought about continuing to work in the Wanwan film and television industry for a few years, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do so.

After all, she still has many companies in the country. If she really falls into the arms of those vicious butts, the country will never let her go.

Therefore, in desperation, she could only continue to follow the development path of "female Buffett".

Fortunately, you can make much more money from investing than from making movies! Otherwise, she will definitely have to go through EMO for a long time before she can come out of it!

"Has all the cashed-out money arrived?"

"Hmm, 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars of funds are in place, as well as part of the bank's loan, which is fully 50 times leveraged, so that we can successfully swallow the controlling shares of a company with a market value of 10.5 billion..."

At this point, even though Zhao Yanzi was fully prepared, he couldn't help but feel a shiver.

"Mr. Zhang, we are playing too big this time. After three years, I will have to pay back more than 4 billion, just in case something goes wrong..."

"Don't worry, there is no chance, nothing will happen." Compared to Zhao Yanzi's nervousness, Zhang Hao seemed very calm.

"You have Alibaba, a company with a market capitalization of trillions, backing you. What's there to be afraid of? It's only 4 billion, and it will be taken back in a few months at most. What's there to worry about?"

"That's true."

A smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Yanzi's face.

Although her recent reputation is not particularly good, the image of "Female Buffett" has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In addition, 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars have just been cashed out from Alibaba Pictures, which has created a situation for many investors and leeks in the industry that as long as they follow her, they will definitely make money without losing money.

With the support of these basic conditions, let alone 4 billion, even doubling it is not impossible!

Thinking of this, the smile on her face became brighter.

However, what she didn't notice was that when Zhang Hao next to her looked at her, he looked like he was looking at a "fool".

"After training you for so long, I can finally put it to use. Haha, let me explore the road this time. Is there a bright road ahead or an abyss? Anyway, even if something goes wrong, it's you. Jump first, we can stop it completely, hehe..."

The audition scene of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

What surprised Chen Fei was that Han Jianu actually invited Lu Yong, who had witnessed the "Medicine God Incident", and asked him to help determine who should play the male lead "Cheng Yong".

I have to say, this operation is quite novel.

"Hello, Director Chen, I'm still your fan."

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Yong greeted everyone present.

And because besides Han Jianu, Chen Fei was the most famous among the people present, so he naturally became the target of Lu Yong's greetings.

"Hello Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Chen Fei shook hands with him and expressed his high respect!

Although the man in front of him looks ordinary, the deeds he has done and the influence he has brought to society are enough to be remembered in the annals of history.

After the greetings, at the invitation of Han Jianu, everyone gathered in front of the projection screen and began to check the performance of the actors who auditioned for the male lead yesterday.

The first thing that appeared was Huang Xiaoming.

However, after watching it for less than 10 seconds, Chen Fei took the initiative and shouted: "You don't need to watch his performance, the smell of 'tyrannical president' is too strong, a poor guy who sells Indian magic oil" , how could you do something like 'You must listen to me'?"

"Pfft..." Han Jianu couldn't help but laughed out loud: "I discovered it during the audition yesterday. Xiao Ming seems to be getting more and more greasy. If he wants to act in big-screen movies in the future, he must go hard. Oil."

"Oh, don't mention it now."

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Chen Fei couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

He previously "pulled" Huang Xiaoming and invited him to star as a special forces soldier in "Operation Red Sea".

But this guy is lucky. After returning from the show, he actually took on another variety show called "Chinese Restaurant"!

Although the variety show hasn't aired yet, the classic quote "I don't want what you think, I want what I think" has been circulated as a pilot clip on the Internet.

This line... is so oily that it can be used for cooking!

"Then let's watch Deng Chao's audition."

Han Jia Nyeo chose to open the second video.

However, after watching for a while, everyone felt uncomfortable.

He was auditioning for a tragic character, but for some reason, his performance always had a "funny" feeling.

Han Sanping suddenly said, "He has played too many variety shows, and his character image is almost solidified."

"Then let's watch the third one."

Time passed by, and as one actor after another was passed, Qin Hao's audition clip finally appeared on the projection screen.

Chen Fei had been paying attention to Lu Yong's state. It can be clearly observed that when he watched Qin Hao's performance, his state was instantly different from before.

What this meant was obvious!

After more than ten minutes, all the audition clips were watched.

In the end, only Qin Hao, Xu Zheng, and Liu Ye were recognized by everyone.

"Brother Lu, I want to hear your opinion. Who do you think is more suitable for the role of Cheng Yong?"

As Han Jianu asked, everyone in the audition room looked at Lu Yong in the crowd.

"I think..." Lu Yong pondered for a moment and finally uttered a name: "Qin Hao, he gives me the most similar feeling to me back then."

"Oh? Why?"

Lu Yong smiled: "I don't know what good or bad acting is. I just see that there is no light in his eyes, only fatigue and numbness..."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audition room suddenly fell silent!

Among so many people, Han Jianu can actually understand this feeling the most.

Because when she was collecting materials, she had seen many leukemia patients.

A small number of them had good living conditions and could barely hold on to live.

But the mental state revealed by more people was nothing but despair...or despair!

She had also heard many wailings, and at first, she couldn't help but burst into tears, crying and sad for them.

But in the end, although the voice still often rang in her ears, it seemed that it could no longer penetrate the high wall of numbness in her heart.

And Qin Hao's performance was indeed very similar to her when she was collecting materials.

In the camera, his eyes gradually lost their past sympathy and warmth, leaving only a deep, indescribable fatigue and numbness.

This numbness is not a one-day effort, but a mechanism for the mind to protect itself after witnessing life and death countless times and experiencing despair.

He can make people maintain an almost indifferent calm in the face of cruel reality, but behind this calmness, there is endless desolation and sadness!

"Then let's go with him."

Han Jianu finally made the decision, and the others did not object, and nodded in approval.

"Brother Lu, it's already noon, let's have a meal in the cafeteria before leaving. The food in Feiyue Film and Television is not worse than that in restaurants outside."

"Haha, OK, thank you Director Han, I will obey your order."

…

It was Chen Fei who called Qin Hao to inform him that he had successfully got the role of "Cheng Yong". After all, he was the introducer and the director of the movie.

When Qin Hao learned that he actually got the role, he couldn't hide his excitement!

"Director Chen, thank you so much. If you hadn't reminded me to stay in the cancer hospital for a while before the audition, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to successfully experience the state of 'Cheng Yong'."

"You're welcome. This is what you deserve. It mainly depends on your acting skills. If you don't have the ability, even if you stay in the cancer hospital for a few months, you can't grasp the psychology of the character."

"Thank you anyway..."

Chen Fei interrupted with a smile: "Don't say anything extra. If you really want to thank me, take advantage of this time to figure out the psychology of the character and try to avoid problems during filming."

"Okay! Don't worry! I will never slack off!"

...

When it came to the morning of the 22nd, the audition work of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was temporarily suspended.

Because today the Supreme People's Procuratorate will announce the latest regulations, and invited Chen Fei, Han Jianu, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Yong and others to attend the meeting in person.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered at the press conference held by the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

Ren Zhonglun flew from Shanghai to the capital overnight, but he didn't seem to be tired at all. Instead, he looked energetic.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be rewarded by the Shanghai government!

After waiting quietly for half an hour, the few people finally waited for the announcement of the new regulations they had been paying attention to for a long time!

"For the sale of a small amount of privately processed drugs according to traditional folk recipes, or the sale of a small amount of foreign and overseas drugs that have not been approved for import, which does not cause serious consequences to others or delay diagnosis and treatment, and the production and sale of drugs by patients for self-help and mutual assistance without the purpose of profit, it will not be treated as a crime!"

As the spokesperson on the stage read out the new regulations in full, the scene suddenly broke out into warm applause.

Chen Fei applauded and subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw that Lu Yong, who was present as a special witness today, was already in tears and crying with joy!

After more than half an hour, today's press conference ended smoothly.

Under the guidance of the staff, the crowd slowly walked outside.

Many media came up and interviewed many bystanders present today.

"Director Chen, what impact will the new regulations issued today regarding the 'Lu Yong incident' have on the film you are about to direct?"

Faced with this question, Chen Fei thought for a moment and responded solemnly: "It will give me more confidence to make this film well, and it will also make more people pay attention to the fact that our country will not forget the people. At the same time, the health and medical issues of the people cannot be ignored. Food, clothing, housing and transportation... are crucial..."

Just as he finished speaking, the reporters in front of him suddenly changed direction and greeted Lu Yong behind him.

Indistinctly, there seemed to be a series of responses from the crowded crowd:

"I am Lu Yong, but I am not the God of Medicine. I am really not a God of Medicine. I am just an ordinary person..."
